Morphology of Hypothalamus and Its Connections

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Neuroendocrinology ((CT NEUROENDOCRI,volume 7))

Abstract

Until five years ago, the concept of hypothalamic neurohormones (Bargmann 1949, 1966; Scharrer 1936; Scharrer and Scharrer 1954) seemed to be rather simple and plausible, and was based on their function as regulatory or effectory hormones (Vollrath 1974).

The work on which this review is based was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Grant Nr. 569/5-1).
